- The present invention relates generally to dental prosthetics, more specifically to dental implants, and more specifically to a dental post screw having a conical head, and a support post having hollow countersink to hold the screw.
- Frequently, screws installed in connection with dental prosthesis break, causing serious problems by damaging both the fixture and the prosthesis. A screw fracture is usually caused by abnormal stresses produced by the prosthesis. Fractures are often the result of loosening of the screws that hold the implants in position.
- Dental implant screws loosen due to repetitive stress forces caused by mastication. Imperceptible movement and micro-oscillations caused by masticating forces can eventually cause significant movement in the threading of the screw inside an implant. This action is common to virtually all fixation screws used in dental implants.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,152,737 to Beaty discloses a support post for use with a dental implant for supporting prosthesis. The problem with this system is that the screw, which connects the support post to the dental implant, is held at the shoulder region of the support post. Therefore the surface area in contact between the screw and the support post is substantially reduced; resulting in friction between the screw and the support post which eventually leads to loosening of the screw. Furthermore, in this invention the screw head does not have any contact with the implant. Therefore, when pressure is exerted on the screw head, it extends to the thread and bore area, causing damage to the screw threads that may eventually lead to a screw fracture.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,090,495 to Rosen discloses a dental implant screw and post system, comprising first and second parts that interlock to prevent loosening of the implant. Although this device uses a mechanism similar to the present invention, the first and second parts only function when installed together, since the screw head contacts both the implant, and the post, and may only be used when initially installing an implant. By contrast, the present invention contemplates an improved screw system to be used in connection with conventional posts that have already been implanted in a user, have malfunctioned, and need to be replaced, or that can be used in initial implantation with a traditional implant device.
- Therefore, there is a need for a dental implant and screw that exerts torque and pressure evenly to prevent loosening and fracturing of the screw and implant, which can be used in connection with typical dental implants as are currently used in the art.
- In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the above-mentioned techniques, a general object of the present invention is to obviate above and other drawbacks associated with the prior art; to provide a system for an implant which can evenly bear the pressure exerted; to provide an improved assembly; to provide a screw with conical head which bears all the pressure thus preventing from the implant from fixture.
- Other objects of the present invention are to provide a support post with an improved design which houses the screw conical head of the screw providing better holding and reducing the chances of under threading; to provide an improved implant with a conical passage to partially hold the conical head of the screw; and to hold the support post and implant firmly to prevent vertical circular motion of the support post over the implant. These and other objects of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the appended Summary, Description and Claims.
- A dental implant assembly comprising a post on which an artificial tooth is affixed, a second part configured for receiving a threaded fastening means. The said fastening means, which can be a screw having a head portion and a threaded portion for fastening said first and second parts.
- A locking mechanism provided with both first and second parts by means of male-female locking mechanism that prevents rotational motion once they are affixed together.
- The post comprises a hollow tubular member with an interior side and an exterior side; an anterior end on which an artificial tooth is affixed, and a posterior end that attaches to the second part. The interior posterior end of the post has a slanted profile, such that the diameter of the interior side is uniformly reduced toward the posterior end, where the diameter is smallest. This results in a three-dimensional conical shape in the interior posterior end of the post.
- Corresponding to the shape of the interior side of the post, the head portion of the screw comprises sides that have a complementary slanted profile, resulting in a complimentary conical shape, so that the side the head portion of the screw comes into complete contact with the interior of the post.
- In other preferred embodiments of the invention, the posterior interior of the post may comprise a three dimensional shape other than conical, as long as the sides of the head portion of the screw comprise a complimentary shape, and the shape is larger in dimension at the top of the head portion of the screw, and smaller in dimension at the junction of the head portion and the threaded portion of the screw.
